Night of the Broken Gliph

Chapter 553

In the past, Kam Chin Kee clinched first during the inter-school exchange’s group competition. As such, Metallic Blood War Gate awarded him with the Giant Demonic Spider egg, which hatched during the past four years. The spider viewed Kam Chin Kee as its father, and they had been inseparable since.

Due to its tiny size, it hid in Kam Chin Kee’s black hair, and only turned into its giant form to protect its master when it heard his orders!

Boom boom boom! The spider sent the surrounding fish flying with its legs. Kam Chin Kee had already kept Blue Wolf, and he supported Siu Tin, his pet Giant Demonic Spider, with his Cloud Palace skill – Great Cerulean Mountain!

“Roar!!!”

Giant Demonic Spiders were the kings of gliphic beasts in today’s world, and they were one of the most powerful beasts even a thousand years ago. Thus, it was stronger than all gliphic beasts of its state.

At this moment, Kam Chin Kee felt a subtle energy movement, or rather, it was more like a calling or a low soft mumble whose message could not be decoded even if one tried their best. Thus, it sparked the curiosity of the cultivators.

Kam Chin Kee scanned the place in search of this mumble.

---

At the same time, Hung Ching Sun was over the moon. It’s the calling!

He no longer preserved his stamina and crushed the four fish in front of him. Unlike Kam Chin Kee, who hesitated and moved carefully, Hung Ching Sun was experienced, thus he pounced towards a certain direction immediately! However, the surrounding fish would never allow him to search freely.

On the other hand, Kam Chin Kee had Siu Tin’s powerful defence that allowed him to focus on searching for the calling… huh?

His gaze stopped in the direction where the eighty-one whirlpools that formed the silverfish were at.

The attentive Kam Chin Kee always paid close attention to his surroundings and things like Woo Nim’s footwork, the distance between Yim Mo Chiu’s steps, and more. Eagle-eyed was the best word to describe him. After all, even if he did not want to admit it, he was once an assassin. Every change in his surroundings mattered as a tiny mistake might lead to failure or increase his chance of surviving. His previous career was possible because of his precise observation skills.

Now, he realized that there were eighty-two whirlpools! It looked the same as the other eighty-one whirlpools and its difference was so subtle that it could hardly be noticed. However, if one took a closer look, the whirlpool was spinning in a different direction – to the left – unlike the other whirlpools that spun to the right.

If the eighty-one fish were from the original whirlpools, then would this extra whirlpool lead to where the fish were from? The origin of this illusion?

Many thoughts passed Kam Chin Kee’s mind within a short span of time, and like a fallen leaf, Kam Chin Kee’s direction seemed undecided to the public, but he was already pouncing for the whirlpool spinning anti-clockwise!

---

The confident Hung Ching Sun did not make any move again, but the silver fish that swam towards him started dispersing into silver light five meters away from him. The jade he was wearing on his chest was currently shining brightly.

Hung Siu turned to his younger brother subconsciously, and indeed, he was wearing a smile.

It was the Shifting Light Jade that Hung Leung purchased from an auction years ago.

This consumptive item could divert all energliph in a radius of five meters, turn it into the cultivator’s energy, and crush everything else.

In the past, Hung Leung’s life was saved twice with this jade. The jade could only be used one last time at this point, and due to his age, Hung Leung knew that he would no longer head out, and since it was safe in the city, he gave the treasure to his son for protection.

To Hung Ching Sun, using this treasure now was worth it – as long as he could gain the secret that had been hidden in this illusion for centuries.

Hung Ching Sun had found the whirlpool. For the past three Silver Waterfall Festivals, he had been searching for this calling and already made out the different whirlpools. Thus, there was no need for him to deduce or make out anything more. All he needed to do was find and enter the whirlpool. Thus, when he heard the calling, he activated the Shifting Light Jade without hesitation to search for the whirlpool.

Now that it was in front of him, Hung Ching Sun could no longer contain his excitement and laughed loudly.

Boom!

The movement of space transportation signified that he had succeeded. He had finally gotten his hands on the secret of the illusion that stayed undiscovered for the past several centuries!

The pressuring figure that always stood in front of him appeared in his mind once again, which made the teen clench his fists.

I will definitely do better than you this time!

---

At the same time, the ever-changing silver light at the edge of the cliff came to a halt.

Boom!!! It was a loud noise, and all Great Wisdom City citizens were unable to believe their eyes. The everlasting waterfall had stopped.

If there was somebody enjoying the waterfall from afar, what they saw would be that the silver waterfall that always looked like fabric was cut in half by invisible scissors!

The waterfall stopped plunging downwards. Instead, it went in another direction. Boom boom boom!

The loud waterfall now sounded like a thunderstorm as the stream moved upwards… for the Heavenly Illusion formed by silver light!

“Siu Sun made it!” Hung Leung laughed loudly. He was extremely excited, as his son achieved something that nobody managed to do in centuries!

“Not just him.” Suddenly, Hung Siu spoke. Hung Leung was stunned and took a close look into the illusion, which left him with jaw dropped to the ground.

---

Kam Chin Kee slowly regained his focus. The surrounding silver light became milder, allowing him to look properly.

A figure appeared in front of him, staring at him like Kam Chin Kee was a ghost.

“Hung Ching Sun?” Kam Chin Kee asked after a pause.

Hung Ching Sun felt that he was going insane now. How did this dude come in? How is this possible? And what right does Kam Chin Kee have? I have prepared and worked hard for so many years, even exhausting my shifting jade that has already turned to ashes now!

Why!?

Just then, the mumble rang out again. The both of them could tell that it was no language, but more of a meaningless sound that was slow and steady. However, they could understand its meaning in their minds.

Only one shall stay and inherit my legacy.
